    No Luck...I have another shop that gets Founder's stuff in today (10/11), but I'm not holding my breath. Oh well, making it an Enjoy By weekend so no complaints.

    Got a four pack at the brewery last night. It took a lot of effort to not crush the four pack in one sitting. Can't wait to have a bottle tonight in front of a campfire.

    As delicious as always:slight_smile: Unfortunately, the Red Wings lost while I was drinking them... Buuuut the Tigers did win so... The Harvest Ale was excellent.

    It has hit the Philly market, and this years is awesome! 7.6% abv and 70IBU and super crushable. Super fresh with juicy hop notes throughout, not very bitter and very balanced.

    I am trying to get the wife and friend who is a girl to go up to the Harvest Ale party tomorrow, they can hit a museum or two while I get it on draft and a few four packs. No luck so far might have to throw in some trips to a winery and casino.

    Checked a few Akron stores and no sign of it yet. No one seems to have an idea of when it will be available here.

    I noticed the abv is 7.6% this year,but everything online seems to indicate 6.5%. Was there a recipe change? Regardless, it is as fantastic as ever. Already been through 8 bottles!

    Just had this for the first time last night and thought is was fantastic, looking forward to drinking the other 3 and maybe more. Reminded me of a lighter bodied Double Trouble but with more aromatic hops than bitter. I'm a sucker for lighter colored IPAs too (Sucks, Racer 5) so that has me diggin it even more.

    I realize I am the outlier on this one but I had it yesterday on tap and didn't think it was that good.
